Chu Qing felt that these rumors were all unbelievable, especially the part about the Ghost Emperor personally seeking out Wang Fang to discuss the way of chess... it was simply nonsense.
Regardless of whether the Ghost Emperor liked chess, even if he did, Chu Qing did not believe that a former master thief could have such profound chess skills.
Perhaps this was a prejudice from the heart, a stereotype.
But Chu Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with this prejudice. Whether it was from character or actions, Chu Qing looked down on this bastard who repaid kindness with enmity, even after being saved by someone who spared his life.
After listening to stories in the teahouse all morning, in the afternoon, the three of them wandered around Ding'an City.
They thought they would quickly find Lan Shuyi, yet he never showed up.
This made Chu Qing feel something was off…
And this feeling was confirmed when they reached the inn.
